Six trucks parked in the
parking lot of a freight carrier in Bayonne were damaged by fire after heavy
winds carried the flames from one cab to another yesterday morning, fire
officials said.

Firefighters responding to APA Logistics parking lot
at 150 Pulaski St. on the report of a fire at 2:40 a.m., found three cabs
engulfed in flames, with strong westerly winds spreading the blaze to other cabs
in the row, Bayonne Fire Chief Gregory Rogers said in a statement.

By the time firefighters were able to extinguish the fire around 2:45
a.m., four trucks had been severely damaged by fire and two other trucks had
been scorched by heat, officials said.

A security guard at the scene
reported the fire, officials said.

The fire investigator determined
that the fire originated in one of the six trucks, officials said, adding the
cause of the fire remains under investigation.
